As the title suggests...

If you could live an unlimited time, if you lived a clean life.....would you still drink? Smoke? Eat red meat?

For example, if no cancers were genetic...and only came about by lifestyle choices.

(Lung = smoking, Colon = red meat, liver = drinking, heart disease = being overweight, etc)

Personally, I would still need my steak and ale on a friday night.

There are too many things in the world that COULD kill you to avoid them all.

ATOT has been shown to have detrimental effects on the brain...but yet we still come here.

Wait, so you would never age? What about gaining weigh, diabetes and other morbid conditions that aren't acutely fatal

Lets assume gaining weight was only attributed to over-eating, and diabetes was only caused by too much sugar intake. Thanks another one....downing too many sodas daily.

Im asking because im curious.....I think alot of attitudes are "Fuck it, im going to die anyway." Well, what if we werent....

I don't do most of those things, so that probably wouldn't change.

If we were immortal on a specific and healthy diet, I'd probably try to strive for that diet.
